PREFACE. 



On the 6tli January, 1819, a number of 
gentlemen, natives of New-England, united 
themselves into a Society for the purpose of 
keeping alive in their minds the memory of the 
land of their birth and the institutions handed 
down from their fathers. Another, a higher 
object with them, was to organize an efficient 
system of relief for such of the sons of New- 
England as might be arrested by the hand of 
disease or chill penury, in this City. Under a 
Charter, granted them by the Legislature of 
this State, they formed the New-England 
Society. — Of that band of kind hearts and 
noble spirits, few now remain, to witness the 
triumphant progress of the institution which 
they first put into action. Death has been busy 
among them — Time has laid his hand on one 
after another of the group ; and they have 
gradually fallen asleep and rested from their 
good works below. Resignations from various 
causes, removals from the sphere of the 
Society's action, have still more reduced the 
list of the fathers of this Society. But as from 
one cause or another, members have fallen off", 



6 

their place has been supplied by new acces- 
sions. The veterans have retired, and their 
posts been filled with enthusiastic recruits, until 
now the roll of this Society comprehends a 
number almost as large as any Society of like 
nature embraces. Nor have the sons of New- 
England, been the only ones, that have pledged 
themselves to its his^h duties. Among us are 
many who claim no heritage in the Rock of 
Plymouth, in whose veins flows none of the 
blood of the pilgrims. 

For the virtues of those to whom we annu- 
ally pay the tribute of respectful recollection, 
are the common property of all. The earnest 
unselfishness — the strong, thorough, devout 
reliance on God and their own hearts — the 
honest, straight-forward industry — the severe 
morality of the Puritan Fathers: are no mere 
village tradition — not circumscribed by narrow 
sectional limits. Their names and their deeds 
glow burningly and forever bright on the 
proudest page where Christian heroism is 
inscribed, and in doing honor to them, we do 
honor to human nature. 

The chanties too, which we exercise, are so 
consonant with all the gentler impulses of the 
heart — so true to the loftiest precepts of 



religion and of morals, that whoso lends his 
hand to aid them, feels gladly conscious that 
he lends his powers to the alleviation of unde- 
served misery, and assists to make the heart 
of the desolate and forlorn, the stranger in a 
strange land, sing for joy. 

Animated by these pure sentiments, directed 
to the same great end, the different elements 
of which our Society is composed, harmonize 
to produce one noble result ; and the steady 
increase of our numbers, the cordial co-opera- 
tion which exists among us, shew, that in 
emulating the example of the Pilgrim Fathers 
in all things good, we follow them not when 
leading to narrow and sectional conclusions. 



RULE I.

RULE V. 

Quarterly meetings shall be held on the first 
Wednesday in the months of March, June, 
September and December, at 7 o'clock in the

RULE VL 

The Officers of the Society shall consist of 
a President, whose duty it shall be to preside 
at all its meetings, to maintain g^ood order and 
decorum, to state questions in debate and 
declare the result, to appoint such committees 

as may not be otherwise provided for in the 

2 



10 

Rules, and generally to do all such constitu- 
tional acts as may be required. 

A Senior and Junior Vice- President, upon 
whom, in case of the absence of the President, 
all his duties shall devohe, in the order of 
seniority, first upon the Senior Vice-President, 
and in his absence, upon the Junior Vice- 
President. 

A Secretartj and Treasurer, whose duty it 
shall be to keep correct minutes of all the 
proceedings of the Society, a list of all its 
members, the dates of their admission, resig- 
nation, death or exclusion, to give notice of the 
time and place of its meetings, and to notify 
the officers and committees of their appoint- 
ments ; to receive all donations made to the 
Society, collect all monies due to it, and pay 
out of the funds such sums as he may be 
authorized to pay by the standing rules, or by a 
vote of the Society ; to keep the Society's 
papers, securities, or other documents ; to keep 
in books to be provided for the purpose a 
regular and particular account of its income 
and expenditures ; to furnish each member 
with a copy of the rules ; and to do and 
perform all other acts and duties which may 
properly appertain to his office, and which 



11 

are not repugnant to the Rules. For which 
service he shall be entitled to receive a commis- 
sion of five per cent, on all monies received, 
(excepting donations, and such sums as shall be 
paid over by any other Treasurer.) Before 
entering- upon the duties of his office, he shall be 
required, by the President, to give a joint and 
several bond, with good and sufficient surety or 
sureties, to be approved by the President and 
Vice-Presidents in the sum of fifteen hundred 
dollars, for the safe keeping of the funds 
and other property of the Society, and for the 
faithful discharge of every duty that now is, or 
may hereafter be prescribed for his government 
during his continuance in office, and until his 
successor shall have given his bond, as required 
by this Ilule, and have received the papers 
and property of the Society into his possession ; 
and, should the said Treasurer be re-elected, 
the bond, heretofore, given by him and his 
surety or sureties, shall extend to all his 
subsequent re-elections. If at any time, during 
the continuance in office of the Treasurer, 
it sliall appear to the President and Vice- 
Presidents, that the personal security given 
by such officer shall have become insufficient ; 
then, and in that case, it shall be their 



L.oi-- 



12 

duty to require further and other security, and 
on his refusal or neglect to give the same, to 
report to the Society, who shall, thereupon, 
displace such officer, should he continue to

bond ; having first caused the same to be

within ten days from the date thereof.
